[Intro]
More so than me   She knows my name   And more so than me
Understands this pain  I'm either too lost  Or not lost enough
I think I'm too smart  For this type of love  I wasn't sent off
But straight to the ground  And I know God best  Is one with no crown
 
[Verse 1]
  Don't know why the past affects me in this way Don't know where I'll go if

    But more for me   And more for me                More   For me
 
[Verse 2]
Age 14 at midnight I hear voices from the kitchen
I let my feet follow the sound as I let my ears listen
I walk upstairs and at the kitchen table I can see
That God is sitting with the Devil, sharing drinks and old stories
The floorboard creaks
A red embarrassment floods all throughout God's face
He swears that it's not what it looks like
Then he swears he can explain
The Devil speaks, "Your God and I put all our differences to rest Now man's actions are his own
But man will blame us nonetheless"
The Devil stands
He grabs his keys and straightens out a rusted crown
He tells me, "Hell is frozen over
Heaven burned down to the ground
And you have only got one life
So do with it what you would like
We solemnly apologize but we won't be there when you die"

And I stand cold and alone  In a body that won't move Watching the eyes of these gods
